In other words, does it assist,RNA polymerase,to recognize the promoter by means of direct protein-protein contacts between,CRP,and,RNA polymerase,?,OR,Does,CRP,activate transcription indirectly? Since,CRP,bends and thus distorts the DNA double helix when it binds, is it possible that increased RNA polymerase binding is a result of structural changes in the DNA?,A third possibility is that some combination of both direct and indirect effects might be responsible for activation at individual promoters.,We can now distinguish 3 classes of,CRP,-activated promoter,:,CLASS I,Class I,CRP,-activated promoters require only,CRP,for activation and the,CRP,binding site is located upstream of the promoter.,The prototype,CLASS I,CRP,-activated promoter is the,lac,operon,promoter (,lacP1,). This,CRP,-binding site is,centred,61.5,bp,upstream of the,startpoint,of transcription.,CLASS II,CLASS II,CRP,-activated promoters require only,CRP,for activation and the,CRP,binding site overlaps the promoter. In these promoters, the,CRP,binding site appears to replace the usual -35 region of the promoter.,The prototype,CLASS II,CRP,-activated promoter is the,gal,operon,promoter (,galP1,). This,CRP,-binding site is,centred,41.5,bp,upstream of the,startpoint,of transcription.,CLASS III,CLASS III,CRP,-activated promoters require additional regulator proteins as well as,CRP,for activation. The location of the,CRP,binding site can be quite variable though it is typically more than 90,bp,upstream of the,startpoint,of transcription.,There is no prototype,CLASS III,CRP,-activated promoter since they all have different requirements by way of additional regulator proteins. Examples of,CLASS III,CRP,-activated promoters are the,araBAD,promoter and the,malK,promoter,2.,色氨酸操纵子,大肠肝菌培养在只含无机盐及单一碳源的培养基中，大肠杆菌细胞内可以测出色氨酸合成的酶系,如果在培养基中加入色氨酸,大肠杆菌中色氨酸合成的酶系就明显降低。色氨酸存在时,阻止了色氨酸合成酶系的形成,细菌可直接利用色氨酸,而不用自己合成,这种减少酶量的现象称为酶合成的阻遏。,翻译过程对转录的调节衰减作用,(,弱化作用,),E. Coli,的色氨酸合成,翻译过程对转录的调节衰减作用,(,弱化作用,),色氨酸,mRNA,的,5,端有,162,核苷酸的前导序列，当,RNA,的合成启动后除非缺乏色氨酸，否则大部分,mRNA,仅合成,140,核苷酸即停止。前导肽能编码一小段,14,肽，其终止区具有潜在的茎环构象和成串的,U,，,表现出转录终止位点的特征。前导,RNA,链有,4,个区域彼此互补，可形成奇特的二级结构，有些情况下出现终止子结构。,转录与翻译偶联是原核生物的特征。,原核生物翻译结束,mRNA,上有特殊的终止子结构。,衰减作用,(,弱化作用,),的意义,E. Coli,E. coli Bacterium,弱化子系统主要是对外源色氨酸浓度作出反应，维持浓度的恒定。,色氨酸浓度,t,AUG-AAA-CGC-GUU-CAA-UUU-AAA-CAC-CAC-CAU-CAU-CAC-CAU-CAU-CCU-GAC,Met-,Thr,-,Arg,-Val-,Gln,-,Phe,-,Lys,-His-His-His-His-His-His-His-Pro-Asp-,a leader coding region,3.,The,Histidine,Operon,: An Attenuator,2, 阿拉伯糖操纵子,阿拉伯糖,(,arabinose,),是另一个可以为代谢提供碳源的五碳糖。在大肠杆菌中阿拉伯糖的降解需要,3,个基因：,araB,、,araA,和,araD,，,分别编码,3,个酶：,araB,基因编码核酮糖激酶,(,ribulokinase,)，,araA,编码,L-,阿拉伯糖异构酶,(,L-,arabinose,isomerase,)，,araD,编码,L-,核酮糖,-5-,磷酸,-4-,差向异构酶,(,L-ribulose-5phosphate-4epimerase)。,与,araBAD,相邻的是一个复合的启动子区域和一个调节基因,araC,，,这个,AraC,蛋白同时显示正、负调节因子的功能。,AraBAD,和,araC,基因的转录是分别在两条链上以相反的方向进行的。在标准的遗传学图谱上，,araBAD,基因簇从启动子,P,BAD,开始向左进行转录，而,araC,基因则是从,P,c,向右转录,。,AraC,蛋白以,C,rep,与,araO1,的结合阻遏自身基因的调节并控制着自身的合成。,有葡萄糖无阿拉伯糖,无葡萄糖有阿拉伯糖,阿拉伯糖和葡萄糖都很低或都很高的情况下，,araBCD,的转录都被阻遏。,5.Quorum Sensing: An Activator,(,群体意识）,There exists a species of squid,（,鱿鱼）,the squid has evolved a light organ in which it cultures a very pure, very dense population of a bacteria called,Vibrio,fischeri,. This bacteria produces a substance called,luciferase, which glows with the same intensity as the moon.,Euprymna,scolopes,swimming,Euprymna,scolopes,hatching,Euprymna,scolopes,ventral view of light organ,In this ventral cross-section of,Euprymna,Scolopes, the symbiotic light-emitting ,photophore, is the black and silver, two-lobed structure in the center. Courtesy of Margaret,McFall,-,Ngai,.,bobtail squid,This Hawaiian bobtail squid (,Euprymna,scolopes,) has silvery tissue around and across its eye. These reflective, silvery tissues of the eye and skin are made of the same unusual proteins that help make the squids flashlight work.,This Hawaiian bobtail squid (,Euprymna,scolopes,) is a night active predator that buries in the sand during the day and comes out at night to forage. This adult specimen, which is preparing to bury for the day, has silvery tissues around its eyes and blue-silver tissues in its skin due to proteins called,reflectins,.,Protein-based reflectors appear to be unique to squid, octopus and other members of the cephalopod class of marine animals. Most cephalopods have big heads, large eyes, grabbing tentacles and sacs filled with ink.,Close-up of the eye of a Hawaiian bobtail squid (,Euprymna,scolopes,).,When,Vibrio,fischeri,is not in the squids light organ, it does not need to be making,luciferase, since glowing will not help it or anything else.,On the other hand, when inside the light organ, it is to the bacterias advantage to glow, because then the squid will not get eaten and will feed it, away from competition from any other kinds of bacteria. So how can the bacteria know that it is in a light organ in order to turn on synthesis of,luciferase,?,The Hawaiian bobtail squid has a built-in flashlight on its underside which is beamed downward by stacks of silvery reflector plates which are made from an unusual family of proteins, according to new research.,The squids light producing organ is powered by glowing bacteria with stacks of the reflector plates surrounding the light organ. This glowing flashlight serves as a spotlight during feeding in the dark ocean,.,Vibrio,fischeri,grown for 24 hours on,Photobacterium,sea water agar,Transmission Electron micrograph of,Vibrio,fischeri,quorum sensing,Each bacterium is continuously secreting a unique small molecule called VAI (,Vibrio,fischeri,autoinducer,) that can diffuse readily through the cell membrane. Thus, there is a declining concentration of the small molecule in a growing circumference around the bacterium. When there are many bacteria around, the local concentration of the small molecule will be very high,.,The genes for making,luciferase,are contained in the,lux,operon,. A DNA binding site (,luxO,) near the,lux,promoter (,luxP,) binds a protein called,luxR,. This protein somehow calls RNA polymerase over when it is bound to the DNA, thus increasing transcription of the DNA and making more polymerase. Thus,luxR,is a transcriptional activator of the,lux,operon,.,It is important to note that,LuxI,is the gene that encodes for the enzyme that synthesizes VAI,（,autoinducer,）,. When a bacterium undergoes the transition from not making,luciferase,to making,luciferase, it needs to have the,autoinducer,around in order to promote binding of,LuxR,to the operator.,Serine,N,-,acyl-L-homoserine,lactones (,AHLs,),酰化高丝氨酸内酯,发光的的好处,对于弧菌：,稳定的食物来源和生活环境。,对于,squid：,诱捕,消除阴影,吓阻,通讯,Margaret,McFall,-,Ngai, a biologist at the University of Hawaii. She says that while symbiotic relationships between luminescent bacteria and animals are nothing new, theres some evidence that the bacteria are getting a raw deal.,So is this may be less a case of symbiosis than of slavery. The squid, she observes, inhibits the growth of the bacteria to enhance their luminescence. And the bacterium could make a better living drifting in the ocean, or in the gut of another marine animal, she observes.,细菌的许多行为,包括,:,生物发光、共生现象、生物膜形成、抗生素生产、群体移动性,(,Swarming motility),、,孢子形成、基因交换以及发病机理等均受到群体效应的调节。,例子,铜绿假单胞菌,(,Pseudomonas,aeruginosa,),是肺囊肿性纤维化病人患慢性或致命性感染的最为常见的病原,并会感染烧烫伤或癌症接受化疗的病患。,含有铜绿假单胞菌的痰液的革兰染色 囊性纤维变性病人痰液显示葡萄球菌和铜绿假单胞菌、细的革兰阴性杆菌。（革兰染色，放大,1000,倍）,铜绿假单胞菌 培养于麦康培养基，铜绿假单胞菌为非乳糖发酵菌，经常产生稍带绿色的绿脓菌素色素，其氧化酶阳性。（麦康基琼脂，,18,小时，,37,）,铜绿假单胞菌生物膜的形成受到群体效应的调控,这种生物膜对包裹其中的铜绿假单胞菌起到一定的保护作用,(,避免了暴露于人体免疫反应中,减少了与抗菌药物的直接接触,) ,使得感染持久而且难以治愈。在感染早期通过基因手段切除了铜绿假单胞菌中的信息素合成酶后发现感染症状明显减轻了。因此,自诱导剂的生物合成酶及自诱导剂感应部位为新的抗菌药物的开发提供了有潜力的靶点,真核生物转录的调节,1,转录因子,顺式作用成分与反式作用成分,顺式作用元件：,转录其始点,上游,30bp,处的,TATA,序列,上游几百,bp,的,CCAAT,序列或,GGGCGG,序列,(GC box),在基因上或下游远端或内含子内增强子,(enhancer),序列,负调控序列抑制子,(silencer),其它特异调控序列,以上各种特异的核苷酸序列都是反式作用因子蛋白质的靶位点。,反式作用因子：,通用转录因子： 结合在,TATA,附近的：,TFA,、,TFB,、,TFD,、,TFE.,转录调控因子：结合在上游特异核苷酸序列上的因子如,SPI,、,CTF,、,AP-1,、,CREB,还有些蛋白质因子，它们自身并不与,DNA,相结合，却能激活基因的转录，可能在两种不同的调控因子中起桥梁作用。,2.,转录因子的功能,域,(domain),a.,转录因子,DNA,结合区,Helix-turn-helix(or helix-loop-helix) motif,最早在,噬菌体,CI,和,Cro,蛋白及大肠杆菌的,CAP,蛋白中发现。虽然在氨基酸序列上有很大的可变性，但在高级结构上是高度保守的。在两个,helix,中，一个为识别螺旋，它的氨基酸残基直接与靶,DNA,大沟的碱基专一结合。,真核生物中最早在控制果蝇早期发育的同源域（,homeodomain,),蛋白中发现。,CAP-,cAMP,CAP-,cAMP,-DNA,Zinc finger motif,H2C2,最早发现于,TFIIA,的,DNA,结合区，是,RNA,聚合酶转录,5SRNA,基因的必需的因子。含有碱性和极性氨基酸的的区域是识别特异,DNA,序列的位点。哺乳细胞的,SP-1,有类似的结构。,C4,：,酵母细胞的,GAL-4,哺乳动物甾体激素受体，这一类蛋白质中的锌指对,DNA,的结合是必需的，但对结合的专一性并不重要，在锌指附近的其他氨基酸残基与,DNA,直接作用形成专一结合。,Zinc finger(H2C2) motif,Zinc finger(C4) motif,Zinc finger(C4),Zine,finger-DNA,Zine,finger-DNA,Zine,finger DNA,P53-DNA(example of zinc finger),Leu,zipper motif,酵母的,GCN4，,哺乳动物的,fos,jun,mys,等蛋白质,DNA,结合区都含有,45个,Leu,，,它们之间相距,7,个氨基酸，在,helix,上每两圈出现一个,Leu,它们排成了一行。这类蛋白质因子都是以双体形式与,DNA,靶位点结合，两个蛋白质分子相应的,helix,之间靠,Leu,残基的疏水作用形成一条拉链，对双体的形成十分重要，但参与于,DNA,作用的使该区域以外的氨基酸残基。在,Leu,重复区,N,端的邻近的,30,个氨基酸片段中有许多碱性氨基酸。当,Leu,拉链使亚基形成双体时，碱性区处于适当位置，决定了与,DNA,序列的专一结合。,GCN4-DNA,Trp,repressor, sheet motif,Met repressor,b.,转录因子激活基因转录的功能区,酵母的,GAL4,GCN4,：,GAL4,有两个激活转录的功能区，分别在,147-196,和,768-881aa,的范围内。,GCN4,的在,106-125aa,的肽段内。共同特点是含有很多带负电荷的,螺旋，但在,aa,序列上很少有同源性,，,aa,的替换实验表明激活转录的水平与净负电荷变化有关，增加激活区的负电荷数能提高激活转录的水平。,哺乳动物的,AP-1,、,fos,、,jun,、,及糖皮质激素受体也有类似的酸性激活区。,酵母和哺乳动物的酸性激活区可以互换,。用,GAL4,的,DNA,结合区与,fos,的酸性激活区融合成的杂蛋白具有激活,GAL,基因表达的功能，同样用,fos,的,DNA,结合区与,GAL4,酸性激活区融合也具有促进基因转录的功能。,SP1：,结合于,GC box,上，其中在,N,端的两个主要结合区含有,25%,的谷氨酰胺。,类似的有：,果,蝇的,Antennapedia,和,Zeste,蛋白,酵母,的,HAP-1、HAP-2,和,GAL11,哺乳动物的,Oct-1、Oct-2、,jun,、,fos,、SRF,等。,CTF-1,、,CTF-,、,CTF-3,和,AP-2,蛋白质羧基端具有激活基因转录的功能，这一区域含有,20-30%,的脯氨酸残基。,3.,转录因子的作用规律,一种蛋白质因子可以结合多个顺式作用元件。,一种顺式作用元件可以作为多种蛋白质因子的作用靶区。,有些蛋白质因子经物理或化学诱导后才具有活性。,磷酸化作用对一些蛋白质因子的功能作用是很重要的 。,蛋白质因子与特异,DNA,序列相互作用涉及蛋白质因子之间的反应。,4.,转录因子与生物的性状,同源异型突变和同源域,l,指发育过程中躯体的一部分发育成另外一部分，最早在果蝇中发现，说明不同蛋白质或者几种调节蛋白质的不同组合可以控制细胞的发育。,现已证明，有两类,8,个同源异形基因控制胚胎最早期的空间方位，这些基因从果蝇到人类都是基本相同的。这些基因都含有,180,个核苷酸的序列，称,homeobox,（,同源域）,，,高度保守，编码蛋白质羧基末端的,60,个氨基酸。,这些同源异型基因编码的都是区域特异性的转录因子。,动物的发育过程开始由少数几个主基因,(,master gene),控制胚胎分化的方向性，然后由不同的器官特异性基因决定器官的发生。基因与基因间存在明显的等级关系。,同源域,-,DNA（ Helix-turn-helix）,5.,真核生物转录调控的例子：,Galactose,Metabolism Is Regulated by Specific Positive and Negative Control Factors in Yeast,Metabolism of,galactose,Metabolism of,galactose,Even when functionally related genes are clustered, they usually give rise to separate transcripts. Three of the four genes (GAL7:transferase,GAL10:epimerase,GAL1;kinase)associated with,galactose,utilization are clustered on chromosome XI, whereas the fourth, for,galactose,transport, is specified by a gene(GAL2) located on chromosome XII.,Expression of the four structural genes is by specific,postive,and negative controls.,Each of the structural genes is associated with a distinct mRNA. The GAL7 and GSL10 genes are transcribed from the same DNA strand, whereas the GAL1 gene, approximately 600bp from GAL10, is transcribed from the complementary DNA strand.,Transcription of the GAL1,GAL7, and GAL10 genes are increased over 1,000-fold when,galactose,is present, suggesting that,galactose,is an inducer.,Two,tran,-acting gene products that regulate expression: GAL4 and GAL80.,The active GAL4 gene produce is a,postive,control protein(an activator) like CAP in the,lac,operon,.,The GAL4 protein bind to a site upstream of the gene(s) it regulates and promotes RNA,polymeraseII,-dependent transcription of these genes.,Site of binding of GAL4 protein,GAL7,GAL10,GAL1,GAL80 protein,GAL4 protein,No,transcription,No inducer,Inducer present,GAL1,GAL1,XI,Most,gal80,mutants also give rise to constitutive expression of the GAL genes, which suggest that GAL80 normally acts as a negative control protein(a repressor) of GAL gene expression. The wild-type GAL80 protein binds the inducer,galactose,and that this binding converts the protein to an inactive form. Induction by,galacose,results from the sugar to the GAL80 protein, which changes its structure so that the GAL4-GAL10 complex is altered.,酵母,GAL4,的激活转录功能区在有葡萄糖条件下被另一负调控因子,GAL80,结合覆盖，失去激活转录的功能；经半乳糖诱导，,GAL4,和,GAL80,的结合解离，,GAL4,的酸性激活区才促进基因的转录。这是酵母半乳糖代谢酶基因在有葡萄糖条件下表达受阻遏，在有半乳糖时被诱导的原因。,Site of binding of GAL4 protein,GAL7,GAL10,GAL1,GAL80 protein,GAL4 protein,No,transcription,No inducer,Inducer present,GAL1,GAL1,XI,GAL4 protein is Separated into Domains with Different Functions,GAL4 activation domain,GAL4 DNA-binding domain,Yeast GAL1 gene,DNA,RNA,GAL4 binding site on DNA,lexA,DNA-binding domain,No transcription,lexA,DNA-binding site on DNA,RNA,
